The error message "Invalid Request" is displayed on the screen or reported in the log file during a backup operation
Exact Error Message
Invalid Request

Details:
VERITAS Backup Exec (tm) is attempting to communicate with the SCSI card that the tape drive is connected to, but the SCSI card does not understand the SCSI command Backup Exec is sending, either because the SCSI controller card is defective or because the SCSI card does not support the advanced SCSI commands Backup Exec is sending to the card (this might indicate an older SCSI card). To resolve this issue, install a newer SCSI controller card.
